Sunday, December 16, 2012 10:57:58 AMHe should save his tears for the women and children that America's drones are killing in Pakistan's Waziristan region every week. Selective sentimentality of this kind from butchers like Obama makes me ashamed to be a human being.

Sunday, December 16, 2012 10:16:52 AMI don't support some of the decisions he's made, and I honestly believe that somewhere out there a better President exists and never ran for office. But his speech concerning this tragedy was so sincere, so well said, and so moving, I couldn't help but cry just watching him deliver it. This was a moment of humanity rarely seen in politics.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 11:11:29 PMConservative comment that you hear often: Guns are a right so that we can kill people that take away all of our rights.

Conservative comments that you rarely, if not ever, hear: We've never stopped the government from forcing us to go to school, be put in jail, pay taxes, use taxes to keep the elderly from ending up on the streets or rely on the SCOTUS to install GW Bush as president.

Things we also hear: Reagan put the mentally insane out in the streets! The reality: Reagan, the republicans and democrats told liberals to go screw and put the mentally disabled and the criminally insane on the streets and blamed the liberals. How? By inventing a non-existent group. Americans.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 2:11:10 PM"I've never been more convinced that conservatives are vile anti-American pieces of shyte as i have now that I've read this thread."

Actually the most partisan conservative on this site stayed out of it. Don't lump everyone into a category. That is what is keeping the partisan BS alive. We are not conservative or liberal we are just people.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 2:10:44 PM@FoolsPrussia- You may be right that he's not just phoning it in. I can be pretty skeptical. I just want all of the violence to stop, and he's promoting it, so I guess I just don't trust it. I hardly think that he can claim ignorance for his actions. All it would take is a quick google search to know the violence happening because of his wars. But like I said; You may be right. I don't know everything.

I think it was sincere. Politicians still have feelings. If most Americans, including Obama, saw the innocent people being killed in drone strikes as more than just dots on a screen, I think they would realize that it's wrong. The business of war involves killing from a distance. That makes it easier for people to swallow.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 8:49:00 AMBottom line - there are 20 or so stacks of Christmas presents that won't be opened next week & you're all a bunch of non-nice individuals for making it a left-wing/right bullpoo political statement...

Saturday, December 15, 2012 7:26:56 AM"Way to go America, how are the gun laws working out for y'all. F*cknuts."

"why didn't "god" bless them before they were shot?"

However, there are other comments that are equally as disgusting. You people are just disturbed. Seriously? Go reflect... turn off your damn tv and computer and phone.. and just go reflect. Some of you have such hangups on certain issues that you make everything about that issue. Gun control? Religious debates? I can't process how this event doesn't register to you people as a horrid event that shouldn't be politicized or added to a religious debate. I feel somewhat sickened like markust123. I'm out.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 7:17:02 AMOnly in America would people come up with the drating ABSURD solution that you should arm primary/elementary school teachers with concealed weapons. drating joke.

The whole country is INFESTED with easy to obtain guns due to your DIABOLICAL constitutional right for any person to own a gun. Its pathetic.

This has not happened in the UK and it won't, because 19 year old boys can't walk into drating Walmart and guy a deadly automatic weapon.

Wake up!!! drating WAKE UP!!! To all those in favour of keeping your gun laws as they are in light of this latest disgusting, blood curdling, easily avoidable tragedy - you are mean personS!! No offence.

Saturday, December 15, 2012 5:57:39 AMsad those children died. What's even sadder is that it's bound to happen again, because the nation isn't willing to change. It's leaders love money and have an unhealthy desire for it, and it's all through the leadership, and the media. They are so drunk on the love for money, and don't want it to stop, that you know either this is going to happen again, or the nation will be humbled greatly

Saturday, December 15, 2012 12:55:16 AMNope, nice try slick, I don't have an agenda. I'm pointing out that fact that he's using a tragedy (which is a more pressing issue to worry about, as you stated) to push his bullsh*t views of religion into gov't and the public school system where, according to the Constitution, it does not belong.
